How to convert a ByteIterable into a String?

Question

When I put a key, I use StringToEntry:

store.put(txn, StringBinding.stringToEntry(key), StringBinding.stringToEntry(value));

and when I return it I get a ByteIterable:

ByteIterable result = store2.get(txn2, StringBinding.stringToEntry("bn:14271053n"));

How do I convert this into a String?

The Bindings section of Environments documentation says:

All inheritors of the ComparableBinding class contain two static methods: one for getting the ByteIterable entry from a value, and another for getting value from an entry. For example, ByteBinding contains the following methods:

public static byte entryToByte(@NotNull final ByteIterable entry);

public static ArrayByteIterable byteToEntry(final byte object);

Similarly, StringBinding contains two methods as well, the desired method is

public static String entryToString(@NotNull final ByteIterable entry);
